“It is concerning that we have this explosive growth in data centers but no way to forecast that water use from a state or regional planning perspective,” said Margaret Cook. "Data centers don’t share their plans with the state or regional planning groups.” www.texasobserver.org/texas-ai-dat...

This is actually real. Chicago Magazine lists a Nazi, Nick Fuentes, as the 7th most powerful person in the city. What are we doing, America? www.chicagomag.com/chicago-maga...

Rich people? Over here! No, to the left of your yacht if you are facing the pointy part! Yes, hi, it's me, floating in the water. I just wanted to say, you can live a life of plenty AND pay your share, AND not be a total ass.

Good thing RFK Jr got Moderna to stop making the Covid Vaccine. Sarcasm font.

After Arkansas passed it's law banning care, it came out at trial when ​Dr. Michele Hutchison testified at least 4 trans youth in her care attempted suicide and were hospitalized. These anti trans laws are directly resulting in suicide attempts by trans youth.

7 in 10 Americans say the Epstein files "show that powerful people in the U.S. are rarely held accountable for their actions,” including 6 in 10 Republicans. www.reuters.com/world/us/ame...

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over. I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.

Paging ALL Alabama folks: ICE is ramping up in Birmingham, especially downtown and around UAB www.wbrc.com/2026/02/14/b...

Disgusting. Despicable. We can’t have this immigrant here bc… he’s too neighborly & skilled? F this administration.

In honor of DHS spokesliar Tricia McLaughlin's resignation, let's revisit how her husband's company won a $220 million no-bid contract to run a stupid propaganda campaign featuring her boss, Kristi Noem, bashing immigrants while sitting on a horse in front of Mt. Rushmore.

This seems to summarize today's "free press."

New York Health and Hospitals has a 3-year contract with Palantir. For almost $4 million, Palantir works to “increase charges captured from missed opportunities,” from Medicaid and other public benefit patients. It also uses AI to review and deny insurance claims. theintercept.com/2026/02/15/p...

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund. Quite a return on investment, huh?

By the way, according to Rep. Minton, not ONE Goddamn Republican Congress member showed up for the deposition of Leslie Wexner today. Not ONE. Also, Rep. Robert Garcia says Lex Wexner gave Jeffrey Epstein about $1 billion. ONE BILLION DOLLARS.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Here's the country we're living in: A state legislature (Kansas) passed a bill to BOUNTY HUNT trans ppl in bathrooms (ppl who are doing NOTHING wrong; just going to the bathroom in private stalls)... all WHILE the Epstein clan who sexually abused ppl face 0 consequences.

Is it any wonder why so many people have given up on the system?

French MFA: Along with 84 other countries, France signs a joint statement strongly condemning unilateral Israeli decisions and mesures aimed at expanding Israel's unlawful presence in the West Bank. Such decisions must be immediately reversed.

NEW: In cases brought by the NEA and AFT, there are now final court orders: Last year's anti-DEI "Dear Colleague" letter is vacated and unenforceable. DOJ/DOE gave up the fight, dismissing the appeal and case in the Fourth Circuit and subsequently dismissing the the second case with a stipulation.

They can’t win any other way.

Spanish PM Sanchez is also in Delhi. Yesterday, President Macron was meeting PM Modi as well.

The Heritage Foundation is now calling for the overturn of Plyler vs. Doe, the Supreme Court ruling that banned states from denying an education to the children of undocumented immigrants.

(AP) - A coalition of health and environmental groups sued the Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday, challenging its determination last week that revoked a scientific finding that has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

Now that’s a headline. 🤡 @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/c39d...

This answer - from one of the president’s key economic advisors - is disgraceful. And, fwiw, the number for tariff pass through is closer to 94-96 percent

Didn't Meta have a complete meltdown when the Biden admin asked them to take down Covid-19 misinformation? And now they are just handing over private data?

“.. It’s quite the feat to spend $17.2mn in a year on ‘business and personal travel’ .. Assuming use of a mid‑sized jet with an estimated operating cost of ~$7K per hour, this implies roughly 2,457 flight hours, or about 28% of the year spent in the air ..” #$PLTR www.ft.com/content/92c3...

Call it what it is: the Epstein administration. They are protecting the powerful, hiding the truth, and denying justice to survivors.

The RNC filed a lawsuit in Michigan to rip away the voting rights of military families. What an insult to the brave men and women who defend America and sacrifice so much to keep us safe. We’re fighting back in the courts.

25 years ago, a bunch of libertarians moved to NH to take over state government. Jason Osborne, one of those "Free Staters," has since risen to be majority leader in the state house. How is he fighting for "liberty?" By helping Stephen Miller build a 324,000-foot prison for migrants and refugees.

Since 1990: -- Only the richest 1% of households have grown their share of U.S. wealth -- For the top 0.1%, their share of U.S. wealth has risen nearly 6 points to 14.4% -- For the bottom half of households, their share of US wealth has dropped from 3.5% to 2.5% Free 🔗 www.wsj.com/finance/bill...

Any Republican or Democrat who continues to support Palantir, takes money from them, or refuses to hold them accountable is not your friend and should not be supported.

This keeps happening.

The CDC finally updated their vaccine schedule on 2/11 and it's a mess. There is no PDF version of the updated guidelines. This is what happens when your Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs has a background in banking and looks like Topper from Outer Banks. www.hhs.gov/childhood-im...
